This key-ready two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in Elviria, a low-density residential area on the eastern side of Marbella, roughly six kilometres from the old town. The 90 m² ground-floor unit was completed in 2006 and forms part of a gated complex with communal pool and gardens. Elviria combines villa neighbourhoods with a limited number of low-rise apartment buildings, set among native pine trees and cork oaks. The asking price is fixed at €340,000, with a parking space included. Distances to beaches, golf courses and schools are short, and the A7 motorway access is a few minutes away by car.
At €340,000 for a completed two-bedroom apartment, this property sits in the middle band of the current Costa del Sol offer. Comparable new-build projects show starting prices of €205,000 at Lantana Residencial in Mijas, €269,950 at Aquamar in Torre del Mar and €321,000 at Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona. Those figures are entry prices for off-plan or recently delivered developments, usually without resale history and often with smaller base units. The Elviria apartment, by contrast, offers an established 2006 building in a mature, green neighbourhood with the infrastructure of Marbella East on its doorstep, schools, golf, healthcare and a year-round commercial fabric. The trade-off is standard for resale versus new-build: the specification is early-2000s rather than contemporary, and no developer warranty applies, although the purchase price per square metre (about €3,780) reflects the Marbella East premium over Mijas and Torre del Mar, and remains below typical Estepona new-build levels. An important differentiator is the rental framework: long-term rental is allowed, but the absence of a tourist licence excludes short-term letting, a restriction that new-build competitors in designated residential zones increasingly share. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should also factor in immediate availability, no phased delivery, no construction risk, and a physical unit that can be inspected before commitment. Within Marbella East itself, Elviria is regarded as the service centre, which supports both year-round living and longer-term rental demand from families and professionals in the area.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies in Elviria, the recognised centre of Marbella East, approximately 9 km from Marbella itself as the crow flies and about 41 km from Málaga. Within a 2 km radius there are 29 restaurants, 3 schools, 4 pharmacies, 9 cafés and a bank. The nearest beach, El Alicate, sits 2.0 km away in a straight line, with the A7 access reachable within minutes by car.
The home offers two bedrooms with two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite, plus a spacious living room, an open and fully fitted kitchen, and a large private terrace facing north-west with garden views. Marble flooring, air conditioning and a lift serve daily comfort. A communal pool and communal garden are available within the gated complex, and a parking space is included.
This is an existing property completed in 2006, offered in key-ready condition with a fixed asking price of €340,000. No construction phase or delivery wait applies; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and, subject to community rules, move in shortly after completion of the transaction. The condition is recorded as good, with furniture available as an option.
The property does not hold a tourist licence (LPO), and no tourist rental licence is available, which rules out short-term holiday letting. Long-term rental is permitted, limiting the investment angle to the residential rental segment. The unit is a ground floor with a north-west orientation, so direct sun on the terrace occurs mainly in the afternoon and evening rather than throughout the day.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal base within reach of Marbella will find the two-bedroom layout, communal pool and gated setting practical. Families considering schooling in the area benefit from the English International College less than a kilometre away, alongside further primary and secondary schools in the wider municipality. Buyers focused on long-term rental income can use the property in the residential letting market, since long-term rental is expressly allowed, though the absence of a tourist licence rules out holiday-rental platforms. Retirees or part-year residents who prefer a cooler, shaded interior in summer may see the north-west orientation as workable, provided they accept that morning sun on the terrace is limited. The ground-floor position and lift access make the unit relevant for buyers who wish to avoid stairs. It is less suitable for those wanting panoramic sea views, an upper-floor vantage point, or a licence-backed short-term rental asset. A car is effectively necessary for commuting, larger shopping trips and exploring the region.
The unit dates from 2006 and is recorded as being in good condition, which for this era of Costa del Sol construction typically means a conventional concrete-frame building with rendered facades and a community-maintained exterior. Inside, the apartment has marble flooring throughout, a finish standard for the period that remains durable and easy to clean. The kitchen is fully fitted and open-plan to the living area; the interior photographs show a compact kitchen with yellow tiling and wooden cabinet fronts, indicating an original or lightly updated layout rather than a recent designer renovation. Both bathrooms are complete, one featuring a bathtub and the other a shower arrangement; tiling is consistent with early-2000s standards. Climate control is provided by air conditioning units, and the building has a lift, a meaningful practical point for a ground-floor unit accessed at terrace level. The en-suite bathroom serves the main bedroom, while the second bedroom and second bathroom accommodate guests or a second household member. The terrace is private and generous relative to the 90 m² living area, oriented to the north-west with garden views. The complex is gated and includes a communal pool and communal gardens, with maintenance presumably funded through community fees that a buyer should verify during due diligence.
The apartment is offered at a fixed asking price of €340,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build price list, so the figure applies to this specific unit including its parking space. For context, comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast currently start from around €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, typically for off-plan or recently completed units without an established resale history. Here the buyer acquires a completed 2006 property in good condition, with optional furniture negotiable separately. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process and community verification.
Elviria operates as a year-round residential district rather than a seasonal resort strip. The area is characterised by low-rise apartment complexes set between detached villas, with streets lined by pine trees and cork oaks. For the resident of this apartment, daily life revolves around a short list of practical anchors: a commercial centre a few minutes' drive away, several supermarkets and services within a 2 km radius, and a beach that the source description places within roughly five minutes on foot. The apartment's position next to the Don Carlos hotel area places it in the quieter, greener southern edge of Elviria, close to the beachside zone. Mornings can begin on the terrace with garden views; because the orientation is north-west, the terrace receives its sun later in the day, which keeps the interior cooler in summer and makes the outdoor space most usable from late afternoon into the evening. The neighbourhood's low density means traffic is limited to residents and hotel guests, although the proximity of the coast road brings occasional background noise in peak season. With Marbella centre about 15 minutes away by car and the English International College under a kilometre away, the location supports both permanent residence and extended stays. Three bus lines and 39 stops provide a basic public transport skeleton, but a car remains the practical choice for most journeys.
The immediate setting combines residential calm with functional density. Within 2 km, the data lists 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, enough for daily needs without leaving the neighbourhood. The commercial centre referenced in the source description is about 3 minutes away by car, and the A7 motorway access is similarly close, connecting the area westwards to Marbella in roughly 15 minutes by car and eastwards to Fuengirola and Málaga. Málaga airport lies approximately 32 km away as the crow flies, a drive the source description puts at about 40 minutes. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the surrounding area, and education options extend to 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the municipality. Public transport exists, 3 lines and 39 stops, but frequency is modest outside summer, so residents generally rely on a car. The elevation of 30 m and a gradient of only 1.5% toward the sea make walking and cycling realistic; the nearest beach at El Alicate is 2.0 km in a straight line, with the source description citing a walkable distance of around 5 minutes from the complex.

Málaga, the regional capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies 41 km to the north-east, while Algeciras sits 72 km to the south-west. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the area occupies the established mid-section: more residential and greener than Fuengirola, more built-up than Estepona. Annual housing transactions in the municipality number around 4,743, indicating an active resale market with regular liquidity for owners.

Elviria sits at roughly 30 m above sea level with a gradient toward the beach of only 1.5%, making the terrain essentially flat, relevant for walking to the shore and for anyone with mobility considerations. The climate data records an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, typical of the Marbella coastline, which benefits from the mild microclimate of the western Costa del Sol. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about 5 months, generally late May through October, which shapes how often the communal pool and nearby beaches are usable. The district's vegetation, dominated by native pines and cork oaks, provides shade and a green character unusual for such a coastal position. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, with long dry summers; the local calendar includes 32 public holidays per year, many tied to Andalusian and municipal traditions.

The coastal stretch near Elviria includes El Alicate and Playa de Artola, both 2.0 km away in a straight line, and the dune-backed Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km, adjacent to Puerto Cabopino marina with its moorings and waterfront restaurants. Golf is a defining feature of the immediate area: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km place two courses within a five-minute drive. For racket sports, the Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away. Swimming pools are available at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km distant, in addition to the communal pool inside the complex itself. Tourism infrastructure in the wider area is substantial, 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, meaning facilities such as beach bars and restaurants remain open well beyond the summer peak, supporting year-round use of a second home.
